try printing both f and fp, and see if you can tell
Dear Tony,
You're not in that directory (start_dir) when the isfile() function is
called. See function os.path.curdir() and os.chdir(). Also, you may be
confusing the behavior of os.path.walk(), in which the function called will
happen once you have been chdired to the directory it is

Hi,
I have some simple code - which works...kind of..here's the code:
[code]
import os
def print_tree(start_dir):
for f in os.listdir(start_dir):
fp = os.path.join(start_dir, f)
print fp
if os.path.isfile(fp): # will return false if use f

Hi Tony,
Actually the file is in a different directory
[code]
import os
def print_tree(start_dir):
for f in os.listdir(start_dir):
fp = os.path.join(start_dir, f)
print fp
if os.path.isfile(fp): # will return false if use f here!
if os.path.splitext(fp)[1] == '.html':
print
Ah of course, isfile(f) can only return true if it can find f! :)
I'm going to investigate those other functions too :)
Thanks a lot guys!
Tony

By the way, an easier way to deal with paths is the path.py module
(http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/). Your example
